    A question I have asked myself. So far I have kept my proof sets in the original cases, the only 20th C. proofs I have slabbed were individual coins I picked up.

    I also think you should keep 'em in the original case.

    If you're holding, keep them in the case or in airtites. I have a few registry sets now but have never slabbed my proof sets.

    If you would like to sell someday, the set price may rise more than enough to justify slabbing.

    That looks to be a very nice set, BTW. I really like the 1911 short set.

    They look mighty fine just where they are but the bottom line is they are your coins.
    Do with them as you see fit.

    They look awfully nice in the original case... I second the airtite-in-the-case vote, assuming there are the proper direct fit ones so the coins can stay in their spots.

    I am going to buck the trend here and say get them slabbed just to protect them. While you are more than capable of treating them with respect you do not know who will own them later and think "gee these will look mighty pretty if I just polish them up a bit".......

    I can not make out the fine detail but would say if they average out at 64 or so to definately leave in set. I have put my set coins into 2x2s inside the cases.
    If they are truly exceptional slab if two or three of that quality (67)

    I think it is a very nice set- I think I would go with airtites for now

    My short set arrived slabbed and being a Brit I immediatly set them free. I suggest you slab them and then give that beautiful case to me to put my set in.image

    Would they fit in the case if they were in directfit airtites? Because that's how I'd probably do it if they were mine.
